PINK PIGS

Our daily lives sometimes get cluttered up with things. Sometimes while we are dealing with the clutter we wonder if God is here in the middle of this mess. Did God lead me to it or through it. Did I consult God before dealing with the mess? We are so busy coming and going and doing. A few years ago I read a book called HIPPOS IN THE GARDEN BY JAMES RYLE. He is a preacher and teacher who talks about Bible prophesy and the prophetic voice of this era. I don't remember much about the book except it was fun and scriptural and I enjoyed it very much. But I do remember a story he told and I have shared it with many over the years and would like to share it with you as well. One night praying before he went to bed he asked God to show him something. He went to sleep and God gave him a dream. There was a lovely green field and trees behind the field. In the middle of the field was a large billboard. At the post on the ground was a small pink pig jumping and dancing around the posts. The next morning remembering the dream, the man of God wandered what God was trying to tell him. He looked up scriptures on pigs. When Jesus cast the legion of demons from the madman in the tombs they went into a herd of swine who immediately committed soooeycide by jumping off a cliff into the sea and drowned. He read about the prodical who ended up in the pig pen. A terrible place for a Jewish boy to be. He had been taught since childhood a pig was unclean because even though it divided the hoof it did not chew the cud. He read not to cast your pearl before the swine. He still didn't get what God was saying to him so when he prayed that night he asked God what He was trying to show him? God said did you read the billboard? James said no Lord I was too busy watching the pink pig. When he went to sleep that night God gave him the dream again. This time he read the sign. In big bold letters it said, DO NOT BE DISTRACTED! That is a good prophetic word my friends. When you have a day of confusion remember that is not God but the evil one whom the Bible says is the author of confusion. Do not be distracted from your calling by pink pigs. NO MORE PINK PIGS NO MATTER HOW CUTE THEY ARE....God Bless, LINDA
